Subject: PUPT: a job, a class, and a request for research help


Dear puppet community,
I have three issues today: a job opening, a class to advertise, and a 
historical research question.

Please respond with inquiries about the position and class to 
drama711-AT-aol.com.

1.  Job Opening:  Blue Sky Puppet Theatre is a professional touring company 
that specializes in educational/fine arts performing in elementary schools and 
performance centers in the Baltimore/Washington DC area with additional 
regional booking in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware and New York. We're looking 
for a full time company member to begin rehearsal in mid May 2004, performing 
begins June 15. Two year commitment, excellent pay structure. No experience 
necessary, we train. To request an application or for more information email 
Director, Michael Cotter, at drama711-AT-aol.com - we will send you a complete 
information package. In the meantime check out our website at 
www.blueskypuppets.com.  Because of stage restrictions, anyone under 5'4" or over 6'1" can't be 
considered, also no smokers. 

2. Puppet Theatre Summer School Workshop in conjunction with the University 
of Maryland Theatre Department. I've been teaching this credited course since 
1996 and it's become a well honed and popular story production class. It's 9am 
to 12:30 pm Tuesdays and Thursdays from June 1st to July 8th . We mine 
personal stories to come up with creative and eccentric puppet productions. Course is 
held in the beautiful Clarice Smith Performing Arts Center on the College 
Park campus in the Washington DC suburbs. Very student friendly. Email 
drama711-AT-aol.com for more course description and registration information.

3. I've been commissioned (I'm probably going to regret this) by the 
Smithsonian to produce a puppet production about the forces leading up to the American 
Revolutionary War, to be produced in the style of a show that might be seen 
from 1755 to 1776.  I have the McPharlin book but would appreciate other 
resources or information.  Thanks.

Michael Cotter 
Director/Producer
